Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods that enable the safe and reliable reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions while permitting a lean-burn engine to operate efficiently.
  • NO x nitrogen oxides
  • Diesel and lean-burn gasoline engines provide advantages in fuel economy and are favored for this reason. However, they produce large quantities of NO x during normal operation, and there is no known technology that is available to take advantage of their economy without suffering the penalty of NO x emissions.
  • Catalytic systems for emissions control have several disadvantages. Catalysts useful for conventional gasoline engines are generally not effective for diesel and lean-burn gasoline. engines. Reagent-based NO x -reduction catalysts have been proposed with ammonia, urea or hydrocarbons like diesel fuel. However, non-fuel reagents like ammonia and urea require a separate filling operation. And, using fuel as the reagent reduces fuel economy and involves an additional cost in terms of the tax on the fuel.
  • SCR catalysts are available to limit NO x emissions from diesel engines, but even though some success has been achieved in this area, no one has yet solved the problem of significant down times. SCR is effective in a practical sense when the exhaust gas temperatures are sufficiently elevated, and effective temperatures are not achieved during startup or idling. Moreover, its effectiveness depends on the operator maintaining a supply of reagent and monitoring the activity of the catalyst. These are limitations that are viewed as unfavorable to regulators. A national or regional policy, so limited, could be rendered ineffective simply by a significant number of operators failing to take the time to stop for a refill of reagent or to service their systems. Thus, the problem of refilling with reagent goes deeper than simply the convenience of the driver or other operator.
  • the method and apparatus are effective for diesel and gasoline lean-burn engines, particularly, and other lean bum engines as well.
  • the catalytic unit is an SCR unit.
  • the catalytic reactor and the associated preferred reagent supply means are enabled at the effective operating temperature for the catalyst, e.g. , when the exhaust gases are within the range of from about 200 to about 650°C.
  • the catalytic reactor is an SCR unit and a NO x -reducing reagent is introduced into the exhaust gas when the reactor is enabled.
  • the term "lean-burn engine” is meant to include engines that can be operated with at least a 1% excess of oxygen by weight over the amount required by stoichiometry for complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel.
  • engine is meant in the broad sense to include all combustors which combust fuel to provide heat, e.g. , for direct or indirect conversion to mechanical or electrical energy.
  • Internal combustion engines of the Otto, Diesel and turbine types, as well as burners and fumaces, are included and can benefit from the invention.
  • the diesel engine is used throughout this description for purposes of example. Stationary and mobile engines are contemplated.
  • Diesel engine is meant to include all compression-ignition engines, for both mobile (including marine) and stationary power plants and of the two-stroke per cycle, four-stroke per cycle and rotary types.
  • hydrocarbon fuel is meant to include all of those fuels prepared from “distillate fuels” or “petroleum”. Gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and various other distillate fuels are included.
  • distillate fuel means all of those products prepared by the distillation of petroleum or petroleum fractions and residues.
  • petroleum is meant in its usual sense to include all of those materials regardless of source normally included within the meaning of the term, including hydrocarbon materials, regardless of viscosity, that are recovered from fossil fuels.
  • diesel fuel means “distillate fuels” including diesel fuels meeting the ASTM definition for diesel fuels or others even though they are not wholly comprised of distillates and can comprise alcohols, ethers, organo-nitro compounds and the like (e.g., methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, nitromethane). Also within the scope of this invention, are emulsions and liquid fuels derived from vegetable or mineral sources such as corn. alfalfa, shale, and coal.
  • These fuels may also contain other additives known to those skilled in the art, including dyes, cetane improvers, anti-oxidants such as 2,6-di-tertiary-butyl-4-methylphenol, corrosion inhibitors, rust inhibitors such as alkylated succinic acids and anhydrides, bacteriostatic agents, gum inhibitors, metal deactivators, upper cylinder lubricants, antiicing agents and the like.
  • additives known to those skilled in the art, including dyes, cetane improvers, anti-oxidants such as 2,6-di-tertiary-butyl-4-methylphenol, corrosion inhibitors, rust inhibitors such as alkylated succinic acids and anhydrides, bacteriostatic agents, gum inhibitors, metal deactivators, upper cylinder lubricants, antiicing agents and the like.
  • SCR refers to a process known in the art as selective catalytic reduction. These processes and the invention can utilize ammonia or any NO x -reducing reagent capable of generating ammonia gas upon heating. Preferred among these materials are those that comprise a member selected from the group consisting of: ammelide; ammeline: ammonium carbonate; ammonium bicarbonate; ammonium carnamate: ammonium cyanate; ammonium salts of inorganic acids, including sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; ammonium salts of organic acids, including formic and acetic acid; biuret; cyanuric acid; hexamethylenetetramine and its carbonates; isocyanic acid; lower alkyl amines, such as methyl amine, ethyl amine, dimethyl amine; melamine; tricyanourea, urea and mixtures of any number of these.
  • urea is meant to encompass urea in all of its commercial forms. Typically
  • Aqueous solutions of urea, ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) or any of the other reagents can be employed where desired. It is preferred to use as little water as necessary due to the added expense of carrying and vaporizing the water. Also in the absence of water, the time necessary to gasify the urea or other reagent is minimized, making the size of the equipment smaller than when water or other solvent must be volatilized. It is an advantage of the invention, however, that water can be employed strategically to maintain a low, but effective temperature in the exhaust - a result not usually desirable for SCR, but helpful where the nature of the catalyst, or other equipment such as associated valves and the like, can benefit. Water can be employed in concentrations known to the art, e.g. , from about 5% to about 65% (or more in the case of slurries), but will typically be present (if employed) in concentrations of from about 25% to about 50% by weight of the reagent solution.
  • lean-NO x catalyst is used herein in the same manner as it is in the art, to define a catalyst system effective to reduce NO x in the exhaust of a lean-burn engine.
  • these catalysts require the use of a hydrocarbon reagent (e.g. , fuel, most conveniently).
  • a hydrocarbon reagent e.g. , fuel, most conveniently.
  • exhaust gas recirculation exhaust gas recirculation
  • a portion of exhaust gases from combustion chamber(s) of an engine is recirculated to one or more of the combustion chambers with combustion air.
  • a portion of exhaust gases can be separated from an exhaust manifold or line therefrom and mixed with incoming air by suitable means such as described by Showalter in U. S. Patent No. 4,609,342 , the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
  • the process of the embodiment Figure 1 shows a lean-burn engine with exhaust gas recirculation and an SCR system.
  • the combined EGR/SCR system is controlled to recirculate exhaust gas at times of low-load, during warm-up, and/or when the SCR system would be ineffective.
  • the EGR system will thus reduce NO x at times when the exhaust temperature is too low for the best use of SCR, when reagent supply has been exhausted and/or when mechanical problems or catalyst inactivation occur.
  • combustion air from intake 10 at high or low pressure, heated or cooled
  • exhaust gases from line 12 are mixed and fed to one or more cylinders of engine 14 (e.g. , either diesel or lean-burn gasoline).
  • the proportion of exhaust gases recirculated to the engine for forming a combustion air mixrure will be effective to lower the production of NO x by the engine utilizing the combustion air mixture as compared to combustion air not containing exhaust gases.
  • from about 0 to about 30% can be recirculated.
  • the combustion air mixture is typically compressed prior to introduction into engine cylinder(s) wherein it is further compressed, causing heating.
  • the appropriate fuel is injected into the cylinders following compression for diesel engines but can be injected sooner for spark-ignition engines.
  • the fuel is then combusted with the combustion air mixture to produce exhaust gases which are discharged through exhaust stream 16.
  • the cycle just described is repeated continuously as the engine continues to run in the EGR mode.
  • EGR lowers the combustion temperature and reduces the amount of NO x produced, but as has been observed, it increases production of particulates and unburned hydrocarbons at high loads - again, the compromise between NO x and complete combustion.
  • EGR can be shut down at high loads and the fuel consumption and emissions penalties that it would cause at high loads can be avoided.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that, because EGR is not operating at high loads (unless reagent is exhausted), less particulates are recirculated back to the engine where they could cause combustion or mechanical problems. Indeed, the EGR equipment might realize savings in cost because it need not be as robust as when it is continuously employed during all loads.
  • SCR Downstream of exhaust stream 16 is an SCR unit18.
  • SCR is effective within a relatively narrow temperature window of from about 180 to about 650° C.
  • the exhaust temperature is maintained at the temperatures most preferred for SCR - and, at these temperatures, NO, conversions of greater than 90% and above are realistic and NO x -reducing reagent is fed from suitable supply vessel 20.
  • NO, conversions of greater than 90% and above are realistic and NO x -reducing reagent is fed from suitable supply vessel 20.
  • there remain times such as during start up and idling that the temperature is not high enough. During these times, ammonia or other reagent is preferably not introduced into the exhaust because it will simply pass through and foul the air.
  • Figure 1 also illustrates a control system of a type useful to maintain the proper operation of EGR and SCR units and determine the level of reagent introduction (i.e. , dosage).
  • the controller 22 can, if desired, time the injections to occur at staggered times in a predetermined sequence designed to smooth out the rate of introduction despite the use of pulsed injectors.
  • the temperature of the exhaust (sensor means 26) is one parameter of importance.
  • Engine load is another key parameter (sensor means 28), and this or like factor can be monitored to determine the amount of NO x being generated and the need for NO x -reducing reagent fed to exhaust gases.
  • Sensor means 29 is preferably provided to determine the availbility of NO x -reducing reagent in reagent vessel 20.
  • the sensing means provided for sensing operating parameters indicative of conditions effective for catalytic NO x reduction, sense the appropriate operating parameter and generate an operation signal representative thereof.
  • the controller 22 provides control means for comparing one or more operation signals to appropriate reference value(s) and determines if catalytic NO x reduction can be effectively operated. The controller then generates appropriate control signals representative of the result of the comparison. Means are provided to be responsive to the control signals for operating either said catalytic reactor or said EGR unit, as called for by the controller. Figure 1 shows, as representative of these latter means, valves 30 and 32.
  • the SCR reagent can be fed into the exhaust gas, in response to a feed-forward controller in response to a number of measured parameters, including: engine load as represented by various mechanical or electronic measures such as fuel flow, tack or pulse width, engine speed, intake air temperature; barometric pressure; intake air humidity; exhaust gas temperature and/or other parameters effective for particular engines.
  • trim or feed back control can be provided based on residual gas species following the catalyst, e.g. , the level of NO x , HC or CO. If desired, feedback control can be employed to trim the system in response to residual levels of ammonia, other gas species, or any other measurable engine or exhaust gas property.
  • the urea, or other reagent or active species is introduced into the exhaust gases in an amount sufficient to provide the degree of NO x reduction desired.
  • the desired amount can be dictated by regulation, engine design requirements or other criteria.
  • a molar ratio of the active species to the baseline nitrogen oxides level (by which is meant the pre-treatment level of NO x in the effluent) of at least about 0.3:1 will be employed. More narrowly, the reagent is supplied to provide a molar ratio of active species to baseline nitrogen oxides of about 0.5:1 to about 1:1.
  • the reagent levels or target NO x concentrations in the exhaust can be preprogrammed into the controller based on tested values for given fuel flows and related parameters, or sensors and related controls can be provided to provide real-time readouts.
  • a sensor means might be provided to correct preprogrammed values by feedback control.
  • the SCR catalyst used is one capable of reducing the effluent nitrogen oxides concentration in the presence of ammonia.
  • These include, for instance, activated carbon, charcoal or coke, zeolites, vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide, copper oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide, noble metals such as platinum group metals like platinum, palladium, rhodium, and iridium, or mixtures of these.
  • Other SCR catalyst materials conventional in the art and familiar to the skilled artisan can also be utilized, These SCR catalyst materials are typically mounted on a support such as a metal, ceramic, zeolite, or homogeneous monolith, although other art-known supports can also be used.
  • Patent 4,393,031 disclose the catalytic reduction of NO x using platinum group metals and/or other metals such as titanium, copper, molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten, zeolites or oxides thereof with the addition of ammonia to achieve the desired catalytic reduction.
  • Ginger in U.S. Patent 4,268,488 , discloses exposing a nitrogen oxides containing effluent to a first catalyst comprising a copper compound such as copper sulfate and a second catalyst comprising metal combinations such as sulfates of vanadium and iron or tungsten and iron on a carrier in the presence of ammonia.
  • a first catalyst comprising a copper compound such as copper sulfate and a second catalyst comprising metal combinations such as sulfates of vanadium and iron or tungsten and iron on a carrier in the presence of ammonia.
  • the effluent containing gasified SCR reagent is most preferably passed over the SCR catalyst while the effluent is at a temperature between about 100°C and about 650°C, preferably at least 180°C. ln this manner, the active species present in the effluent due to hydrolysis and gasification of the reagent solution most effectively facilitates the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides.
  • Use of the present invention with any of the above SCR catalysts reduces the requirement for the transport, storage and handling of large amounts of ammonia or ammonium water.
  • the invention is compatible with the use of fuel catalysts that can improve engine performance, reduce emissions and/or improve the operation of catalytic exhaust treatment units or particulate traps.
